Re: Loading MIBs via xnmloadmib

Use the -load parameter and write a simple script.  See the man page on it
for details or do xnmloadmib -?
I have attached an example a customer sent me a couple years ago using
xnmloadmib2 but that is easily changed.
But you can run out of virtual memory real fast this way, so you may see
error message about malloc's failing.  And since the resulting MIB database
is loaded by trapd, you will also increase his real memory usage.  Your
customer really has a need for all the MIBs representing obsolete hardware
in /usr/OV/snmp_mibs?  Most shops only load what is appropriate to their
hardware.

Hi all.
In a customers environment (AIX 4.3.3, Netview 5.1.3) we want to load all
MIBs
in one process. Has anybody an idea, a script or something else?
Thanks in advance.


Mit freundlichen Gruessen - Yours sincerely
